I forget whether I read that one, but I should make another visit to <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/IQ84" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IQ84</a> over the long winter months. I don't highly recommend his latest work, which is a reworking of an early story he wrote. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmReading</a>

Reading Recluse📘 "The Cracks We Bear" by Catalina Infante, translated from Spanish into English by Michelle MirabellaThis title isn't out yet, but will be released in early November. I received a digital ARC for it (thanks!).This book focuses on new motherhood, and the way it's naturally overwhelming and can make you reflect on your past with your own parents and their choices.With a somewhat passive, unlikable character we reflect back on growing up in Chile after Pinochet with a distant, communist mother and a mostly absent father. Meanwhile, in the present, life as the protagonist knew it seems long gone while focusing on her new baby. The once clear lines of her own body and life have become blurry.I liked this book well enough, but didn't become an enthusiastic fan. I think it's a case of 'it's not you, it's me'. The work is well-written, well-translated and overall a good read. It's simply not something that will stick with me for a long time. It didn't have me emotionally invested, it felt more like an interesting scenery passing by while looking out of window's train during a journey.Saying that novels about parenthood are for parents only would be ridiculous, but I do think -with this book in particular- that there's more to be gained for readers with children. There's a certain atmosphere of claustrophobia of constantly giving care and feeling inept combined with love and fulfillment that might hit differently if you're familiar with that yourself (but take that as a simple assumption from a childfree person).<a href="https://c.im/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmReading</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WomenInTranslation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WomenInTranslation</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a>

Jon-o-lanternI love when a book starts slow but gradually becomes absolutely unputdownable. Mackenzi Lee's The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy is the most recent book to cast that spell on me. I picked it up mainly because my husband read and loved it, and now I can't put it down.<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmReading</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/QueerBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QueerBooks</a>

Steve PetersonJust finished When the Cranes Fly South.After helping my father die from IPF and my father-in-law from Parkinson’s related junk, and now my mom slide downward through stroke and cognitive decline, this book was close to home, but in a good way.Plus, I love <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dogs</a>.Totally worth a read, IMHO. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmReading</a>

Tiota SramJust finished "Dreams from Many Rivers" by Margarita Engle. It's a Latin-American history of the United States, written in poems that take on the points of view of a number of both fictional and actual people. It starts with the arrival of Spanish colonists in Puerto Rico, which was in fact the first part of the present-day States to experience European colonialism.Its super informative and a great read to appreciate the complexities of history that ICE and the US white supremacist movement are trying to sweep under the rug. Like how the fuck do you deport a person whose indigenous and then Mexican ancestors lived in Arizona for centuries but now that it's claimed by the US since they speak Spanish they're "foreign."It's a pretty quick read since it's a lot of short poems, and it's got lovely illustrations by Beatriz Gutierrez Hernandez.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmReading</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReadingNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReadingNow</a>
